The victory against Sri Lanka in the 2011 World Cup final ended a 28-year-long wait for the Indian cricket team and fans to enjoy the moment of being the World Champions. India won their first-ever World Cup trophy in 1983 under the leadership of Kapil Dev but couldn’t repeat the same performance till 2011.
Under the leadership of MS Dhoni, India grabbed a huge victory in Mumbai at the Wankhede Stadium. This was also Sachin Tendulkar’s sixth and last appearance in World Cup. The young Indian players lifted Sachin Tendulkar on their shoulders during the victory lap as he was the biggest source of motivation for the team.
Every individual had great respect for the God of Cricket and when asked each one of them said that they want to win the World Cup trophy for the great Sachin Tendulkar. Eleven years since the 2011 victory in Mumbai the Indian team is still waiting to win another World Cup.
